Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is Intersystems first Rapid in the Cloud deployment and features a range of FIDS displays throughout the airport, the latest generation GMC8 FIDS controllers and TBIDs for baggage data input. Intersystems will be working as a sub-contractor to Leidos to deliver the FIDS component of the terminal redevelopment project with a early 2015 delivery anticipated.
